15 Inspiring Instagram Feeds To Follow This Summer

As the weeks roll by and summer well and truly approaches (yes, England is looking hotter than the Mediterranean this week), we bring you some of the best Instagram accounts that will carry you through those long office-bound days. Gotta love a little insta-escapism…

Fashion Editor, writer and arm candy to the stars, Derek Blasberg’s life can only be described as ‘simply fabulous’. He knows everyone, from models and celebrities, to big name actresses, and his jet set lifestyle sees him frequent the most exclusive parties and visit a plethora of exotic locations. For insider snaps of Sienna, Karlie, Miley (no less) and envy-inducing scenery, he is a must-follow.

One half of photographer duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, this is a feed for the ultimate behind-the-scenes shoot snaps, but most importantly, frequent unseen photographs of Queen Kate Moss, their subject and close friend. Parties and travel also included.

Uber blogger and Sunday Times Style magazine Wardrobe Mistress, Pandora, is an insta-savvy style maven. Check her out for style inspiration (she gives good 70s FYI) and for general life inspiration. Witty captions galore.

For street style shots – AKA the ultimate fashion voyeurism – and candid photos of intimate celeb moments at events (see his Insta of FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson), Phil Oh is your man. There’s a huge amount of variety, which is a sign of a good feed, so you’re guaranteed to lose hours scrolling through.

The ultimate cool girl, and everyone’s favourite icon, Chloe Sevigny, does not, and could never, let us down on Instagram. Offering an eclectic mix of art, icons, and a few words, it’s a journey into her mind and inspirations.

An extension of Emily Weiss’ brilliant website Into the Gloss, the corresponding Instagram account highlights must-have products, beauty tips, and women who are getting their beauty routine just right. Inject a bit of sparkle into your day.

For revolutionary makeup (which also borders on artwork) and a fabulously dynamic feed, Isamaya – illustrator, makeup artist and Beauty Editor at i-D magazine – is your woman. This is makeup like you’ve not seen it before.

See all the backstage shots from the industry veteran McGrath who has, in her time, made up the most famous and important figures in the fashion and beauty industry. For beauty and makeup tips and behind-the-scenes shots, Pat McGrath’s feed has it all.

A wonderful feed filled with portraits of real people found in New York, accompanied by a quote – something they’ve said about their lives and how they got there. Often tear-jerking, sometimes funny, and always heartwarming, this is an un-missable feed.
